Resumo(s)

Even though coral reefs represent a negligible percentage of the ocean floor, they are wardens of incredible biodiversity. They provide support for at least 500 million people with food security and livelihoods, mostly in poor or developing countries. Despite their importance, coral reefs are also extremely fragile. They are among the most damaged and threatened ecosystem due to unprecedented global warming, ocean acidification and climate changes, combined with increasing local pressures. These incredible ecosystems are calling us into action towards more efficient protection to ensure their conservation and restoration.
